Also, I don't think the owner will want to sell it and I know that the gun will have to be appraised for definitive value but I was just wondering out of curiousity do any of you guys that are familiar with beretta's have any idea of what custom ones are worth or what range they go in. Also can anyone appraise it or does it need to be done by someone that specializes in hammerguns or SxS's or beretta's, etc. Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to help the owner as much as possible and am also really curious of this gun and trying to figure it and its story out. Thank you all.
